Rain in Torrents and Blowing Great Guns. Prodigious Tides Create Sad Havoc Along tlie Jersey Shore. Many Small Sailing Craft Wrecked and a Large Ocean Liner Run Aground. Associated Press Dispatches.; New York, Oct. 24.—New York was pelted last night and today with one of the most pitiless storms which it lias endured in many a day. A fierce north easterly gale drove the heav rain in almost horizontal sheets, rendering um brellas of no use, and the wind through out the night rattled signs and shutters till unbroken sleep became well nigh impossible. This morning stories of damage along the coast began to come in, but it is feared the worst will not be known until tomorrow. Along the New Jersey coast the wires are reported down and several vessels ashore, while others have been driven from their course. Very high tid...

2 THE NICKEL MARKET Stimulated By Recent Armor Tests. The Supply Inadequate for the Navy's Demands. Companies Organizing for Develop ing American Mines. Brazil's Compliments to the United States. Millions for Pensions—Wash ington Notes. Associated Press Dispatches. Washington, Oct. 24. —Additional re salts of the recent tests of armor plate at Annapolis, are still coming to light. The demonstration of the superiority of nickel steel alloy and the immediate ap propriation by congress of $1,000,000 for the purchase of a quantity of nickel with which to alloy naval steel, has had the effect of stimulating the nickel market to an unusual degree. The navy department had hardly begun to enquire into the amount of nickel on the market, before it was found that the results of the tests had been seized linon ahroad with remarkable celer- j ity, and that there was to be keen competition in the market, which was already noted for a vigorous and steady demand. In addition there were rumors of "...

8 JUST AS OF OLD. In the crowded hall met we. and she placed her hand in mine With a charming ease and grace, with a smile— ah I half di vine; Seemed we both serene and calm though we had not met in years; Time had dulled, not killed my pain—time, more kind, had dried her tears. When the whirling waltz was o'er lingered I beside her still; Random commonplaces passed, thus our share ot talk to fill. Till a madd'ning impulse rent every bond and spake at last- Words that were as sparks that burst from a dying, smold ring past. "Does our meeting not recall something of a past?" 1 said; "No sweet odor, no faint breath, fragrant of the days long dead:" Oht the smile that wreathed her face—smile divine that graced the dance 1 Oh I that look—it gleamed again—soul destroying, mystic glance! "Tea, I caught It when we met—through the air on wings it roves; Haunts you still that odor rare—as of old, you're eating cloves." * • • • • • • Thus she spoke—at last I knew what lay hid Id thought so lo...

FINANCE AND TRADE. Financial. EXCHA NG E REVIEW. New York. October 24.—1n the stock market tcday weakness in silver, higher rates for money and especially continued liquidation in sugar refineries were disquieting features. Sugar was tlie feature of the day, and except one slight reaction, the downward movement was not checked until 01% was touched. This is a loss of llVs since Wednesday, and 13* 8 since Monday. An apparent effort to advance the stock in the afternoon caused ft rush to cover, carrying it up nearly 1). per cent, be yond the opening of the day. A dispatch in the fternoon from Chicago saying all tho grangers except Northwestern were about to boycott the Union Pacific was the signal for a combined attack on those roads, but the vigorous rally in sugar brmght everything else up. Final changes of the day show a majority of the losses only fractional. Union Pacific is down iy t . Governments—Dull, but firm. MONEY QUOTATIONS. New York, Oct. 24.—Money on call firm, 11 @8. Pr...

DAMRON AND CHADWICK. THE HONORABLE JIM ACTS AS AT TORNEY FOR HIS FRIEND. The Attorney for the Elusive "Mr. Getch ell" Turns out to Bear that Relation to "Davis Morris C." The Hon. James M. Damron was full of business yesterday. It was under stood that he had an insolvency case on hand, which was to be handled with great secrecy. In this case it was not only the client who was insolvent, but likewise the counselor-at law. In the afternoon he visited a lawyer's office on Spring street, where, in the absence of the principal, he tried to negotiate the modest loan of fifteen cents from the clerk. This young gentleman was sorely pressed for coin, and had to deny him self|the pleasure of accommodating the bright representative of the Seventy sixth district. The honorable penman then, as an alternative, asked for an in solvency blank, which was handed him. When the Hbbald reporter obtained these facts he smelt a gory, dark mys tery which he set himself diligently at work to solve. By hangi...

After breakfast thero is an hour of study. There is something for these little ones to do at all times during the day. They go...

FINANCE AND TRADE. Financial. EXCHANGE REVIEW. New York, October 25.—The stock mnrket today was a continuation of the depression of the past two days, but sugar refineries took a secondary position in the market. The bear attack today was directed principally against Union Paciflc, upon the strength of the re ported disagreement between that road and the granger roads, and pressure of heavy sales, the price was forced off to 45%, the lowest figure known for years. On the theory that any dis sension in the west must result iv damage to all roads in that section, granger stocks were sold wdth great freedom, especially St. Paul, this stock at one time being down to 60%, also the lowest price for some time. Heavy covering before the close by shorts brought everything up somewhat, however. The list is all lower, but losses, except in Union Paciflc, which is 2% lower, and St. Paul %, and Chicago gas V /H , are for fractional amounts only. Silver cer tificates are extremely weak, and retir...
